The processing of personal data such as name, address, e-mail address or telephone number is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the BDSG. In the following, we explain the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. We also inform data subjects of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
Please note that Internet-based data transmissions are generally subject to security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
The controller in terms of data protection law is us, the:
FIRST CLASS CONCEPT GmbH Zur Messe 9A 01067 Dresden
Data Protection Officer: You can contact our data protection officer via the e-mail address fccgmbh@datenconsulting.de or the contact details given in no. 1, for the attention of the data protection officer.
Managing partner: Mirco Meinel Local court Dresden, HRB 21061 VAT ID No. DE224546743
Any data subject can contact us at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.
Each time our website is accessed, we collect certain general data and store it in log files on the server. This concerns, among other things, the IP address, the provider of the accessing system, the operating system used, the browser used, the website from which you were redirected to our website and other similar data.
We do not use the data processed in this way to draw conclusions about a specific person, but solely to optimize the presentation and improvement of our website. The data is used to display the content of our website correctly, to protect our technical IT systems from attacks and, in special cases, to provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information. If necessary, a statistical evaluation is carried out to increase the level of data protection and IT security in our company. The anonymously collected data that is stored in the log files is stored separately from all other personal data that users pass on to us.
We process personal data solely within the framework of the applicable law and thus only if one of the permissions of Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR or the consent of the data subject has been obtained.
Legally effective consent to data processing by data subjects is possible in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if we provide sufficient information in advance about the type and manner of data processing and its purpose.
According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data may be processed for the performance of a contract. This is the case, for example, when goods are delivered or the data is required to provide a service. Pre-contractual services are included here, such as customer inquiries about our products.
According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, processing is possible if there is another legal obligation to do so, as is the case, for example, with the storage of personal data for tax law reasons.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR permits the processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
Finally, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR permits processing if this is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such an interest may be affirmed, for example, in the case of an existing customer relationship. Our interest in the processing activity is to be seen in cases where we want to carry out our business activities for the benefit of our company, our employees and shareholders.
It follows from the aforementioned regulations that the storage of personal data may, for example, be required by law or is necessary because a contract cannot otherwise be executed. Data subjects can contact us in individual cases and we will clarify the reasons for which the respective personal data is stored or otherwise processed by us.
Personal data will only be stored for as long as data processing is permitted under the GDPR or the BDSG or other statutory retention obligations exist (e.g. under the AO or HGB). Otherwise, the data will be routinely deleted.
In accordance with the statutory provisions, we process and store personal data of the data subjects only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purposes or if other legal regulations permit this. As soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply and no other justification applies, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.
6 Rights of the data subject

The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

If we have made the personal data public and our company is obliged to erase the personal data as the controller pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, we shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. We will take the necessary steps in individual cases.
6.5 Right to restriction of processing
Data subjects have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by us, he or she may contact us at any time. We will arrange for the restriction of processing.
6.6 Right to data portability
Data subjects have the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Data subjects may also have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, see Art. 20 (1) GDPR.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact us at any time.
6.7 Right to object
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to us to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by us for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject can contact us directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
6.8 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other legal remedy, data subjects within the meaning of data protection law have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to them infringes the GDPR. The data protection authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
7 Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Any consent to a data protection process that has been given to us can be revoked at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact us at any time.
8 Data protection for applications and in the application process
We collect and process the personal data of applicants. This is solely for the purpose of carrying out the application process. Processing takes place in writing or in electronic form, for example when application documents are sent to us by e-mail. If an employment contract is concluded, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship. Otherwise, the data will be automatically deleted two months after our rejection, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
An e-mail address is provided on our website for quick electronic contact with our company. If a data subject contacts us by e-mail, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted to us on a voluntary basis by a user is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
We use cookies on our website. These are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. By using cookies, we can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies. Cookies are used on numerous websites. They often contain a so-called cookie ID, a unique identifier. This enables websites or servers to distinguish the individual browser of the user concerned from other browsers that contain other user-specific cookies.
Cookies can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of users. Cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website.
Data subjects can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by making the appropriate setting in the browser used. Almost all browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer and mobile browsers provide this function. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be subsequently deleted from the data subject's system. If a user deactivates the acceptance of cookies by the browser, it may not be possible to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.
We offer a newsletter to inform our customers about new offers at regular intervals.
A valid e-mail address is required for registration. In addition, server log files are collected as described in No. 2 of this declaration.
When you register for the first time, we send you a confirmation e-mail in order to comply with the double opt-in procedure. This means that only those who have access to the confirmation e-mail can register. This ensures that the owner of the e-mail address has authorized the receipt of our newsletter.
During registration, we also store the IP address assigned by the provider and used by the data subject during registration. We also store the date and time of registration. The storage takes place in order to be able to prove the legality of the newsletter dispatch.
All data that we collect when subscribing to the newsletter is not passed on to third parties, but is used exclusively for sending the emails. In exceptional cases, subscribers to the newsletter will be informed by email if this is necessary to continue receiving the newsletter. Reasons for contacting us may be a change to the offer or other technical reasons. The subscription can be canceled at any time by the data subject. Consent to the storage of personal data provided by the data subject for the purpose of receiving the newsletter can be withdrawn at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link at the end of each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe directly on our website, but unsubscribing can also be done via the other contact channels.
12 Google Analytics
We use the product "Google Analytics". The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Google Analytics is an internet analysis service. Internet analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of users on a website. Among other things, information such as the website from which a data subject has come (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed is recorded. Internet analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
We use the addition "gat.anonymizeIp" for Internet analysis. This means that the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie file on the user's computer. This is the only way to enable Google to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us, is accessed, the Internet browser on the computer of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
It is possible to object to and prevent the collection of data and its processing by Google. To do this, you must download and install the program from the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This is an add-on program for the browser which informs Google Analytics that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The add-on program for the browser is considered an objection by Google.
Additional information can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy and at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics.
13 Facebook
We operate a plugin to the social network "Facebook" of Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA on our website. For persons living outside North America, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland is responsible for data protection.
Each time one of the individual pages is accessed, the user's browser is prompted by the Facebook plugin to download a file from Facebook. These are available at developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. As part of this technical process, Facebook learns which specific subpage of our website is being visited.
If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time they visit our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this data.
Facebook always receives information about the visit to our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the Facebook plugin is clicked or not. If this transmission is not desired, the data subject should log out of Facebook.
Facebook provides information on the handling of the collected data at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacyAuskunft. It also explains how users can adjust the settings for more data protection on the platform.
14 Google +
We use Google+. The operator is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, the Internet browser on the user's computer is automatically prompted by the Google+ plugin to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. In this way, Google receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited. More information is available at developers.google.com/+/.
If the user is logged in to Google+, Google recognizes which subpage is accessed each time our website is accessed and for the entire duration of the visit. This information is collected and assigned to the data subject's Google+ account.
When the Google+ button is activated, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account and stores this personal data. Google stores the user's Google+ recommendation and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. If the transmission of personal data to Google is not desired, this transmission can be prevented by logging out of the Google+ account.

We have embedded videos from the YouTube platform on our website. YouTube is an internet video portal of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, which in turn is a company of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of our website is accessed on which a YouTube video has been embedded, the user's internet browser automatically downloads the corresponding YouTube component. In the process, YouTube receives information about which subpage of our website is visited. This information is collected and assigned to the user's YouTube account if the user is logged in to YouTube at the same time.
This happens regardless of whether the embedded video is clicked on or not. Every visit to our website, the time, the browser and other data are stored. Users who do not wish this data to be passed on can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.

Each time one of the individual pages of our website on which a Google Maps plugin has been embedded is accessed, the user's internet browser automatically downloads the corresponding Google Maps component. In doing so, Google receives information about which subpage of our website is being visited. This information is collected and assigned to the user's Google account if the user is logged in to Google at the same time.
This happens regardless of whether the embedded video is clicked on or not. Every visit to our website, the time, the browser and other data are stored. Users who do not wish this data to be passed on can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Google account before accessing our website.
